Kelly and Shelly Form an Ideal Team
Kelly Kraus (left) and Shelly Madruga have teamed up for Rare Bird Consignment House.
This past month I got to meet Shelly Madruga of Point Loma, who has formed a business partnership with Kelly Kraus, proprietor of Rare Bird Consignment House in Mission Hills Kraus made an official announcement in March 2014 about their partnership, “For those of you who have worked with Shelly here in the past, you know how talented and hard-working she is. I have had the pleasure of knowing Shelly for close to 20 years now, and I know how fortunate I am to work with such a kind, intelligent and committed friend.”
Madruga shared with me that she has worked in the field of advertising as a graphic designer. Kraus says her graphic design background and appreciation for art (they met at a painting class) has only strengthened their commitment to running a business that is about balance, scale, design, texture, color and aesthetics.
Madruga also commented about Kraus’ amazing talent and skill to create vignettes that complement all the items on display and for sale at Rare Bird Consignment House. Madruga offered that Kraus’ ability do this is what makes the store a great place to explore and connect with vintage to contemporary items. It’s a treasure trove.
